Arrival by public transport and directions
U1/U3 station Hallesches Tor
Here, the overlapping U1/U3 lines are elevated. In both directions of travel there are lifts. However, there is no tactile floor guidance system, and orientation is generally more difficult from here, as it is necessary to cross the major street of Hallesches Ufer to get to all of HAU's venues. For this reason, we recommend that those familiar with the area to take the U6.
U6 station Hallesches Tor
There is no tactile floor guidance system on the U6 platform. There is a lift. This can facilitate orientation, as it serves as an exit on the correct side of the street. There are additional upward escalators from the U6 platform as well as stairs at the northern end of Mehringplatz. A direct connection to the U1/U3 is only possible using stairs. Changing lines while using a wheelchair requires crossing the street (Hallesches Ufer).
U1/U3/U7 station Möckernbrücke
There are neither lifts nor a floor guidance system here. Because of this, we recommend taking the U6 to Hallesches Tor for barrier-free access.

For many years, Ivo Dimchev has captivated audiences with his incomparably beautiful voice and the melancholic-but-dirty lyrics to his songs. At the same time, he constantly challenges a comfortable, leaned-back viewing experience, entering into a direct dialogue with his spectators to find out who is sitting in front of him. This is also the case in his latest work ›Metch‹, an interactive solo in which Dimchev brings together his own theatre texts, songs and paintings in search of new interweavings between his artistic obsessions. This is already evident in the title: Metch stands for Music, Exhibition, Text and Choreography. His unique mixture of anarchy and tenderness remains unmistakable and irresistible in this performance.
»Metch is a concert exhibition, an auction, an exercise, an excessive production of paintings, an obsessive dialog with the audience and of course the songs... I know many people come to my shows because they like my songs. For good or for bad those people will need to experience or crash with my very complex and unpredictable relationship to theatre, dance, politics, and contemporary art.« Ivo Dimchev
Press:
»Dimchev inspires a rare form of trust by cultivating an intimate community with the audience.« (New York Times)
»Dimchev is a first-rate lyricist, profound even when plain… As a performer, he slides effortlessly between masculine and feminine modes; his vocal range is equally protean, moving from a low baritone to a soprano embellished with theremin-like vibratos.« (The New Yorker)
